3 Spooktacular Ads to Create & Run in Time for Halloween

With Halloween right around the corner, we came up with a few easy ads ideas that you can create and run in time for the 31st—even if you don’t have any video to start with.

Carving Pumpkin

What else says Halloween like a Jack-o-lantern? Get in the spirit and customize your brand’s own pumpkin to showcase a seasonal discount, a big announcement teaser, or to simply wish your followers well this all hallow’s eve.

How to execute: Animate the carving of a secret message or deal into the pumpkin or create a cinemagraph or GIF of candlelight flickering inside a logo-, discount-, message-carved pumpkin.

Spooky Trees

Go all Sleepy Hollow with your creative by decorating some eerie-looking trees with leaf-like animations. Hide special deals, discounts, messages, or products behind tree limbs lined with bats or ghosts. Encourage users to click or swipe up to reveal what’s underneath.

How to execute: Subtly animate the movement of a bat wing or the swoosh of a ghost to slip a sneak peek of what’s waiting to be uncovered.

Trick or Treat

Tempt viewers to click or swipe up for a trick or a treat. Lead those that engage to a landing page that randomizes results with an exciting discount, trick GIF, or early product release.

How to execute: Animate a bowl of candy with different pieces revealing potential tricks and treats they might see on the landing page.

Now that you have three at-the-ready ideas for Halloween, jump right in to start creating. All set for Halloween weekend? We look forward to seeing your creative in our social feeds!
